Autumn Fire

About the time August loses ardor – melting into her – she awakens!
Unabashed is she, Autumn’s uncommon goddess, unfolding herself for all to see.
Thrilling to wind’s tempting tempo, she flutters, touching the twilight tangerine.
Unflaggingly, she undulates radiance through trees before their final undressing.
Moved by...

W  ishful thinking that He would greet warmheartedly
O  verjoyed when strong arms of love wrapped around

E  mbraced by a warm bright light...

Inviting the moon, even if missed, leads to stars

K illing its prey with bacteria stained saliva
O n queue, it is patient as the blood poisoning commences
M aking deadly moves out of the savannah grass
O verpowering even the largest of beast
D evastating team of dragons eviscerate a corpse in a few hours

Jack Frost is a hoary mischievous fellow
A man with a penchant for autumn coloring,
Carrying buckets of paint: red, brown and yellow,
Killing crops and late-blooming flowers with a zing!

Frozen  toes and noses are Jack’s big delight.
Racing through towns and fields, he leaves us winter frost.

Whitecaps, buoyant pearled sea snow;
Overhead crimson-coral clouds bend low
Nourishing earthbound beauty starving souls
Desperate to fill the inner hole.
Eloquently, nature's hymns to God abound,
Rising in waves of color, light and sound,
Filling the gaping wound in my breast,
Uplifting me in God's perfect rest:
Love's evidence brings healing profound.

When I held you in my arms for the very first time,
Overjoyed that my baby boy was simply sublime.
New life that I had pushed into the world, 
Darling son, oh how my emotions whirled.
Every day brought us something new,
Recording every moment as you grew.
Filling our...

M-idnight has just passed by; 
A-nother morning has come; 
R-ise of the sun has begun, 
K-illing the night of boredom.

Y-ear two thousand sixteen
S-eems to share the same enjoyment.
O-nly if the dark sky clean-up the lanes above;

[[Poem]]


"Who 
is this 
speaking - 
what can 
I say for the 
bereaved - lost 
amid the shell of 
their bitterness 
and abhorrence?" 


""Like moths with dark shadows 
in their eyes children running and playing 
in their absence with no reflection of time driven 
by their...
